Premier League defender Danny Simpson has been ordered to work as a Bingo caller as punishment for assaulting his girlfriend.

Simpson, who started his career at Manchester United, has been an integral member of Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester squad as the Foxes continue their surprise bid for a Premier League title.

The 29-year-old was recently found guilty of strangling Stephanie Ward, the mother of his child, on the floor of her home in Worsley, Greater Manchester.

After avoiding prison time for the assault that occurred over the Christmas period, Simpson will be ordered to read out Bingo numbers group of adults with learning difficulties at the Probation Service HQ in Salford, Greater Manchester.

‘Simpson is a typical cocky Premier League footballer so it’s nice to see him humbled by calling out the bingo numbers,’ a source told the Sun.

‘He also has to get cups of tea for those who are invited and help them with other activities like colouring in.

‘He’s working with adults with learning disabilities so hopefully he is finally learning what a privileged position he is in.’
